I'd suggest putting him back into the 11 in a different position and then wonder why he's not doing it for England like he does for Spurs. This will happen.

I still have nightmares about Hodgson playing him out wide in the last Euros. And everyone wonders why he had a terrible tournament...

Tbh, given the current England system there's not much point in playing Alli as we don't play with a 2nd striker/no.10. However I think he could be a really useful option off the bench if we want to switch things up and put him up top alongside Kane.
